Election Day is all about who can win enough states to get to 270 electoral votes.
From predawn voting in New Hampshire to late-night poll closes in Alaska, it’s sure to be a long day.
The first burst of results will emerge when polls close at 7 p.m. in Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia. Look for more blasts of numbers after 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., when polls close in 30 states and the District of Columbia. The 11 p.m. batch of states includes California, with 55 electoral votes. Alaska, where polls close at 1 a.m. on Wednesday, brings up the rear.
Polls in the tiny New Hampshire towns of Dixville, Hart’s Location and Millsfield will open just after midnight on Tuesday and close as soon as everyone has voted, typically right away.
For an early read, keep an eye on Virginia in the presidential contest. If Hillary Clinton doesn’t get a winner’s call there by 9 p.m. or 10 p.m., it bodes well for Donald Trump. Watch Indiana for an early indicator in the tug-of-war for the Senate; if Evan Bayh can manage a comeback, that’ll be a good sign for Democrats.
